Let me rephrase that....<br /><br />Will '74 150hp carbs work on an '83 115hp powerhead? Remember that they are actually the same HP...

they are not the same hp, the 79 and 80 140hp is closer to the 83 115hp and even then they are different. I have the service manual and it lists the jetting and there plenty of differences. I'll edit this post and attach the list.<br />
